Abstract

This article investigates the event-triggered leader-follower consensus control problem for linear continuous-time multiagent systems (MASs). A new consensus protocol and an event-triggered communication (ETC) strategy based on a closed-loop state estimator are designed. The closed-looped state estimator renders us more accurate state estimations, therefore the triggering times can be decreased while maintaining control performance. We show that the consensus of MASs can be achieved by employing the proposed control scheme. In addition, the Zeno-phenomena can be excluded. As a practical application, our method is successfully applied to the vehicle platoon control. The effectiveness is further verified by simulations conducted on the Prescan platform.
